E6AP is essential for the proliferation of HPV-positive cancer cells by preventing senescence. by Alicia Avenhaus, Milica Velimirović, Julia Bulkescher, Martin Scheffner, Felix Hoppe-Seyler, Karin Hoppe-Seyler

“…Yet, despite these mechanistic differences, the pathways underlying the pro-senescent effects of E6AP or E6/E7 repression ultimately converge by being both dependent on the cellular pocket proteins pRb and p130. Taken together, our results uncover a hitherto unrecognized and potent anti-senescent function of the E6AP protein in HPV-positive cancer cells, which is essential for their sustained proliferation. …”
